What's the basis for claiming this user is Musk?

Listen if he doesn't have to care about the truth neither do I...
Seriously though. Because half of these are the type of shit I posted ~10 years ago when we all were in on the joke. Is there literally any reason to think this is Elon Musk's "account"?
Dude it wasn't a joke 10 years ago. They were just racist insane asshats back then too. 10 years ago is like right on the edge of pizzagate and the rise of qanon. A dude shot up a pizzaria 9 years ago because of shit on 4chan and 8chan.
You might have thought it was a joke, but people were taking that shit very seriously on the other end of your keyboard.
Congratulations on being part of the problem.
But conveniently I can just declare myself to be part of the solution! What now, society?
Apparently the user himself claims to be elon musk, but the most convincing thing so far is that there was some sort of a thread where he discussed the idea to make non-logged users unable to see the content, and hours later this change actually happened on twitter.
The only thing I can say is that if it's actually him, we will just once again get a confirmation that he's cringe, for now, whoever this is, is incredibly cringe, even if it's not elon musk.
This is the USA, it's on him to prove it's not. They want a guilty without due process system. So fuck him.
This. Im skeptical until there is a good reason to believe this is Musk.
I want to believe, but I'm calling bullshit on this.
I would be surprised if it is his because the username does not have an 'X' in it. Everything else seems plausible.
Lol, Elon would be NaXichrist or some other nonsense that seems edgy to a 14-year old who won't take their shirt off in a pool.
Musk doesn’t have the IQ for this
it is him. one time this user sent me a private dm on 4chan in which he wrote something like "it is me the dark lord elon of musk, i am downloading my dick and saving it in your ass", and he sent a dickpic with a timestamp and his dick was all fucked up and split down the middle. shame i didnt save it.
Eww, you used 4chan?
I just want to say that all things aside that sign is fucking stupid and badly designed, it has more in common with an eye chart given how small the t and y are.
Hot garbage.
Since the record contains timestamps, if someone were bored enough they could go through and correlate post times to known appearances he made. If the account posted at the same time he's on video giving some speech or whatever it'll pretty much disqualify all this shit.
I mean, if it's not Musk, that unfuckable edgelord basement-dweller was running a pretty ace digital cosplay...
lmao reddit dumbasses are believing this shit
yo sup im the illuminati, yes the entire group. You don't believe us? We'll prove it with this, now your blinking has become manually controlled, now youre doing it with your breath. Our messages are implemented to your subconsious via our propaganda channels all around the world. Yea we're currently all chilling in a pool party, but just decided to fuck with you, yes you the individual reading this.
I don't believe it, but frankly I also don't doubt it.
It seems that this rumor does not have any solid ground to stand on. Until its verified that its the musky boi, I can only take this another shitposter amongst millions on 4chan. If it does turn out to be him I can’t imagine that he would be able to hold onto his popularity amongst the right
The political party founded on ignoring things for personal bias would just ignore another thing.
I'm not trying to attack you, but this would be like believing that once the right were informed that not all immigrants are murdering rapists then all of MAGA would be just so gosh darned embarrassed.
No, they'd yell "fake news" and send another innocent person to die in a foreign prison.
the internet is claiming it’s allegedly Elon Musk
Ok so “people are saying”.
Elon def posted all that. You can trust me when I say this because I am Spartacus.
That account openly claims to be Elon. 4chan is only lies. This user is not Elon. q.e.d.
I summarized everything using ChatGPT
So, anything below may or may not be true.
Exactly, before I even begin to believe it I'd like to know how it was "summarised" by ChatGPT. Elon Musk is a dick and there are more than enough reasons to hate him without inventing more
Who the fuck makes an account for 4chan?
There are, at least last I checked, no actual accounts. Users are anonymous but can pick a username for their posts. Since usernames aren't locked because there's no accounts, users use tripcodes to verify their identity. It's basically a hash. There are tripcode explorer programs so you can search for a particular string and it'll just brute force a bunch of random codes and show you the relevant ones. This fellow apparently searched for "satanzog." 5 or 6 string length is pretty easy to find. 8 in all caps is pretty nuts, that one probably took a while to find. Days at least. It reads like a LARP, and 4chan is known for that, but Elon is... Well, let's say this would not surprise me if it was actually him.
That's a lot of context but tl;dr this poster is a SERIOUS LARPer and Elon is weird enough to be that guy.
Source: was edgy teen once.
Idk I think this would be more believable if he praised Elon's gaming skills.
Apparently mods had full access to userdata and there was no real anonymity.
I'm more surprised about this actually. At the same time, not surprised that mods had that access.
There’s a ton of disinformation about the hack as far as I’ve seen
I’ve seen no evidence of .org or .gov email addresses in the leak, only shit like gmail
My assumption is that this person doesn’t understand how 4chan works, or how websites work, and is shocked that user data existed. It is a mild bombshell if mods (assuming this person is not conflating mod role with admins) had access to user ips but not really that big of a deal. And if you post on an “anonymous” website and don’t understand it collects location data like ip and stuff you’re kind of dumb. 4chan explicitly states this.
If mods (not admins) had access to stuff like email addresses for pass users that’s a bigger deal. On the other hand if you bought a 4chan subscription you’re real dumb.
Honestly the biggest bombshell from this hack that people aren’t really talking about is the release of location statistics for /pol/ and seeing Israel IPs posting there at a rate of 2:1 to American and UK ips. Given the role pol had in the rise of the modern alt right that is highly suspect
Ultimate internet tough guy
Dudes never won a fight against a man in his life.
The people will win. We always do. We’ll suffer for sure.
But we will win.
And if he’s still alive when it’s over. He’ll wish he wasn’t.
uhh... and what evidence do we have that connects this account to elon?
i mean im sure that elon was/is on 4chan given its a nazi hellhole(and honestly, he probably did all that "kekius maximus" bullshit a day after "joining" it.)
lmao tripcodes have been losers since they were introduced
I think this is part of a PsyOP because that's not even the real tripcode, this one is.

shocked Pikachu face.
Oh wait this is 4chan, right?

“You use my products each and every day”
Imagine this isn’t Musk but a secret Tim Cook lol
Solid 4chan LARPing. If it actually was Elon though I'd expect it to sound even stupider somehow.
This could be any average 4chan schizoposter
This user claims to have made an AI model with some tweeks "they will never know what i've done" and showing people how to set up their own local AI model.
I think this user just played with a Model, gave it a god complex, fed it with bible quotes and let it run rampant on 4chan.
what a dousy
Is that actually how that word is spelled, or is it "doosie?" I've literally never seen anyone put it in writing until now lol
It wouldve been easier to just state:
I am the Musk. I mean borg. Resistance is futile. I will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to my own. Your culture will adapt to service me.
Way simpler and everyone would get it.
